ADA Accessible Parking

The City recognizes that
on-street parking in some residential neighborhoods is a limited resource,
especially in areas having few off-street parking facilities such as garages,
carports, driveways or hard-surfaced parking areas. Furthermore, the mobility
for some citizens with disabilities or mobility challenges can be enhanced by
the establishment of dedicated ADA parking spaces along public streets for ADA
designated vehicles.

Parking Services will
install residential on-street ADA parking signage to provide additional parking
opportunities for residents that meet the eligibility requirements, one parking
space per address. ADA parking signage requests are generally approved if the
applicants meets the following criteria:

Resides
at a residence located on a public street within the city of Columbus;

Has
a current ADA placard or ADA license plate from the Ohio Bureau of Motor
Vehicles; and

Does
not have access to off-street parking such as a driveway, garage, parking pad,
etc.

Please note, the
physical condition, or use of the off-street parking (i.e. a garage used for
storage, non-functioning overhead garage door, unpaved parking area that is not
properly maintained) shall not constitute a basis for approving an
application.

Also, the ADA parking
space is not limited to the applicant use only. Anyone with a current ADA
placard or license plate may legally park in the space.
